A Night Out in Lawrenceville: The Ultimate Guide

Night Out at McCray's

 

Everyone needs a night out occasionally. Especially when you have work and school all week, you just want to enjoy yourself when you can. Luckily, there is plenty to do for a fun night out in Lawrenceville, Georgia. It’s one of the oldest cities in metro Atlanta and is conveniently 30 miles outside of the city. Bring your friends along as you put all life’s stress behind you and start a long night on the town. We’ve put together a guide to help you have the best night ever! 

Ways to Celebrate Your Girls’ Night Out in Lawrenceville

When it’s time for a regularly scheduled girls’ night out with your friends, everyone is always more than ready to catch up with the girls over a relaxing and delicious meal. Head over to a local restaurant that features a nice casual dinner and a quiet enough atmosphere for the perfect setting for you and your friends to catch up on talking.


Restaurants with desserts and cocktails are also great, because some delicious sweets and a few drinks at the bar will always make the night better. After dinner, try taking a group stroll around downtown Lawrenceville to get a little exercise while admiring the historic areas. There is a lot of shopping to be done downtown too, and events are always happening, so be sure to check the schedule!


The Ideal Boys’ Night Out in Lawrenceville

When you’ve built up an appetite during the day, all you want to do is unwind and enjoy a satisfying meal in the evening. Bring the boys out with you, and you’ve got a party. Head to a spot, like our tavern on the Lawrenceville square, with a menu that features burgers, steaks, wings, beer, and all your grilled favorites.


Live music and being able to stay updated on sports with your meal will only make things better, and grab some drinks from the bar while you’re at it. You’ll discover that Lawrenceville can be a great place to kick back and relax with the guys! Maybe later you could take a spooky Lawrenceville ghost tour…if you’re feeling brave enough.
